[Opening "Spanish: Old Steinitz, 4.c3"]
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6 4. c3 a6 5. Ba4 f5 {White's fourth move did
nothing for his immediate development and took the best square from his queen
knight, so Black feels he can risk this push for the initiative.} 6. d4 fxe4
7. Ng5 exd4 8. Nxe4 { White might do better to castle and make a gambit of the
opening.} 8... Nf6 { Black uses the exposed White knight to develop with
tempo.} 9. Bg5 Be7 10. Qxd4 {White miscalculates that Black won't be able to
take advantage of his exposed queen.} 10... b5 {Winning material, but White
must have felt that Black's many pawn moves would give White enough
counterplay.} 11. Nxf6+ gxf6 12. Qd5 bxa4 13. Bh6 {13.Qxc6+ Bd7} 13... Qd7
{This fine move defends the knight as well as the bishop on e7, prepares to
attack White's kingside by a later ...Qg4 or Qh3 and gets ready to castle
queenside.} 14. O-O Bb7 { Aiming his extra piece straight at White's king
position.} 15. Bg7 O-O-O { Another fine move. Black is willing to give back a
little material to take the initiative. After White takes the rook Black will
have his queen bishop, knight, queen and rook all aiming at White's king,
which has no defenders.} 16. Bxh8 Ne5 {Now White's queen won't be able to get
back to defend the kingside.} 17. Qd1 Bf3 {Very powerful; Black wins a tempo
on White's queen while not allowing the counterplay White might hope for
after, e.g. 17...Qf5 18.Qxa4.} 18. gxf3 Qh3 {White has no defense to threats
like 19...Nxf3+ and 19...Rg8+} 0-1
0-1
